Create a Solana Token
How to Create a Solana Token on DexLab
Connect your wallet
Select Connect Wallet and approve the connection with Phantom, Solflare, Coin98, Ledger, Coinbase Wallet, or MathWallet. DexLab never asks for your seed phrase.
Set the name, symbol, and image
Enter the token name and ticker, then upload a logo image. You can also add a description, website, and social links so wallets and explorers can display them.
Choose the supply and decimals
The initial supply defaults to 1,000,000,000 and decimals to 6. Mint to your own wallet or a custom address, or skip minting now and issue tokens later.
Review the mint and freeze authorities
Advanced Options control the mint authority, which can issue more supply, and the freeze authority, which can freeze token accounts. Both belong to your wallet when kept on, and removing an authority is permanent.
Create the token and receive it in seconds
The page shows the total cost before you sign: a 0.15 SOL creation fee plus about 0.02 SOL of network rent. Approve one transaction and your token is live on Solana in seconds, with a direct link to its token page.
Solana Token Creator FAQ
- How much does it cost to create a Solana token?
- The creation fee on DexLab is 0.15 SOL, plus about 0.02 SOL of Solana network rent for the new token accounts. The exact total is displayed above the create button before you sign, so there are no hidden costs.Full cost breakdown
- Is there a free way to create a Solana token?
- No tool can make token creation completely free, because the Solana network itself charges rent for the accounts every token needs. The DexLab fee covers metadata hosting, your token page, and the creation infrastructure in one transaction.
- Do I need to know how to code?
- No. The whole flow is a form: fill in the token details, adjust the options you care about, and sign one transaction with your wallet. There is no contract to write and no command line to touch.
- What is the difference between SPL and Token-2022?
- SPL is the standard Solana token program and the right choice for most projects. Token-2022 adds optional extensions such as transfer fees, interest-bearing display, non-transferable tokens, and a permanent delegate. DexLab supports both through the Token and Token 2022 tabs on this page.
- Who holds the mint and freeze authorities?
- You do. When an authority is enabled it belongs to the wallet that created the token, never to DexLab. You can remove either authority at creation or later from your token page, and removal is permanent.
- Can I mint more tokens later?
- Yes, as long as the mint authority is still active. You can even skip the initial mint entirely and issue the supply later from your token page. Once the mint authority is removed, the supply is fixed forever.
- How long does it take to create a token?
- A few seconds once you sign. Everything happens in a single Solana transaction, and the confirmation screen links straight to your new token page.
- Which wallets can I use?
- DexLab supports Phantom, Solflare, Coin98, Ledger, Coinbase Wallet, and MathWallet, plus other Solana wallet standard wallets detected in your browser.
- How do I add liquidity or list my token?
- After creation, open the token listing page to create a DexLab swap pool or an orderbook market, and to find application links for centralized exchanges. Your token page tracks the token from the moment it is minted.Token ListingToken Hub
- Is DexLab non-custodial?
- Yes. The mint keypair is generated in your browser, every transaction is signed by your own wallet, and DexLab never holds your keys, your tokens, or your funds.
- How long has DexLab been around?
- DexLab has been minting Solana tokens since 2021, back when trading on Solana ran on Serum. CoinDesk covered the Minting Lab launch in July 2021 as the first Solana platform for minting and managing tokens without writing code, and the same platform has been running ever since.
